nected with the last by brief review and
mention Of some Of the intervening facts.
The questions for today must recall the
healing Of the centurons servant at Caper.
naum, the centurion's faith and the teachings
Of Jesus. Thea state the fact that Simon Pc
ter's mother in.law was cured Of fever by
the touch Of Jesus hand and the command Of
his words.
Give an idea Of the multitude that thronged
Jesus for the cure of diseases. many Of which
were incurable by ordinary means. At length
the order was given to depart to the other
side Of the lake, and the weary healer went
TO the stern OF the boat to lie down quietly
and take some rest. The sea Of Galilee is
subject to sudden and severe storms. One
arose this night, and the waves dashed over
the boat to such an extent that the ship was
in danger Of sinking.
In terror the disciples called their Master,
who not only rebuked the winds and the sea,
but he rebuked the disciples for their want OF
faith.
Teach from this that Jesus Is almighty. He
has all power. At the close Of the Lords
Prayer it is said, Thine is the kingdom, and
the power: the power to heal the sick; the
power to quiet the winds and waves. he
made all things and can control all things.
Little folks are often very timid in storms,
or fires, or great disasters Of any kind. II
they could learn from this lesson TO trust in
God as one able to protect and defend them,
much suffering might be averted. Let them
recite the Golden Text, "Why are We fearful,

from Ps wi, 8, "What time am afraid, l
will trust in thee"
Teach the little ones te believe that they
may claim the promises: teach them to trust
in the Almighty One who is able to deliver
from all trouble. Tell this story SO that they
will never forget it, Fasten upon their minds
the details Of the story so as to make it real
to them. Be animated, and so truly in earn

Welt Tor Titus Behring and his lieutenant,
Tschericor, sailed eastward from kam-
chatka with two small vessels in the sum-
mer of 1141; a storm separated them, and
one vessel disappeared forever. On the
18th of July, Behring discovered and
landed on an island near the Alaska
coast. The scurvy came; the crew were
too weak to manage the vessel; they
drifted for months till Behring died. the
few survivors wintered on one of the
islands, and in the spring Tor, as the
months CO. our summer of 1142 they con-
structed small shallop and in August
reached the coast of Asia. Other eXplOr-
ers followed, and by 1910 the coast of
Alaska was fairly well known. Trade
in furs and fish grew rapidly, and
in 1190-99 the Russians organized
the business under the despotic
control of government monopoly; and
so, with but slight changes it remained
till 1867. The Russian-American COM
pany at first treated the natives with
such rigor that the latter were almost
eXterminated on the islands; then self
interest compelled them to do better, and
when the United States recovered the
country the races were on fairly good
terms. In May, 1867, Seward agreed
to pay S7,2OO000 in gold for the whole
region, and on the 18th of the sue
ceeding October the formal transfer was
made. The United States received re-
gion, islands and mainland, over 1000
miles long from east to west and 1,2OO
miles wide, covering about 5l2, 600 square
miles and containing Gn 1890 $50 whites,

The Sitkan region extends so far south
along the coast that it is fairly well known
to the navigators, and one may visit the
capital from San Francisco by steamer
any month in the year But there is no
communication by land between that and
the northern coast of the islands, and the
voyage by water is far more arduous than
to or from the Pacific ports. Indeed, the
men employed in the fur seal industries
and other activities of the upper region
look upon the Sitkan district as "away
down south,n or "back east" No Ian
guage can describe the awful grandeur of
the upper coast, the immense icebergs and
the gloomy f1ords into which they glide;
the wide wastes of snow and the
rugged mountains behind them; the

A FAIR YOUNG PHlLANTHROPlST
Miss Caldwell, Who Has Given 100000

Miss Mary Gwendolen Caldwell, the
young lady who has given $500, 900 to the
founding Of the new Catholic university
in Washington, lives in New York city,
in the apartment house on the northeast
corner of Thirtieth street and Madison

Not long ago County Superintendent
Stockdale sent postal cards to the clerks OF
the various district school boards in the
county, asking them to inform him when
their schools opened, or were about TO open,
81 that he might know when TO visit them,
and not make his calls when the schools
were closed. These requirements must
not have been generally answered, and Mr.
Stockdale again asks them to send him the
desired information.

the wild storms of autumn, the fogs and
rains of summer and the storms at all
seasons. Yet, strange to say, the region
adjacent to the coast is not very cold, as
cold goes in the far north. The disagreeable
features are rain, sieet and fog. Down
at Sitka there is a great deal of active life
and some civilization; the fur trade of the
district often runs up to $40, 900 year,
and the native Siwashes have taken on
the forms of the Greek church and con-
siderable varnish of Caucasian manners.
Sitka town is the capital of that half and
half government established by congress
in 1874. The people live very largely on
halibut and herring, and consume fabu-
lous quantities of tea, rum and brandy.
There are hot springs not far away Of

mountains are gold mines of which the
